State prisons: Office of the Inspector General.

Existing law establishes the Office of the Inspector General that is responsible, among other things, for contemporaneous public oversight of internal affairs investigations and staff grievance inquiries conducted by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's Office of Internal Affairs. Existing law requires the Office of the Inspector General to issue regular reports, no less than annually, to the Governor and the Legislature summarizing its recommendations concerning its oversight of the department allegations of internal misconduct and use of force and, no less than semiannually, summarizing its oversight of Office of Internal Affairs investigations. Existing law requires these reports to be posted on the Inspector General's internet website and otherwise made available to the public upon release to the Governor and Legislature. This bill, instead, would require the Office of the Inspector General's reports to be posted to the Inspector General's internet website and be made available to the public within 5 days of their release to the Governor and Legislature.
